BEWARE: Dimitar Lee is a scammer and a fake coder.

Dimitar Lee submits a very impressive CV (download here) but it is mostly fake with threads of the truth to make it believable and verifiable upon initial due diligence. He claims he was a CTO and lead developer on several large Web3 projects - but after deeper background checks it seems he was only a junior dev and cannot code in half the languages that he claims. He sounds impressive and carries himself professionally - but there is no substance or truth to him.

Unfortunately for our business (DocSafe) we did not do the background checks deep enough. If we had we would have found out that he is not the full-stack coder he claims to be. And he has had issues when leaving all his places of employ which never last more than 6 months. His level of coding ability is very poor and he doesn't have the ability to deliver on any of his promises. He is always full of excuses and blames other people for his own mistakes. And like every scammer he is always asking for more money to fix up his own mistakes.

However it gets worse - much much worse. He was appointed senior developer for our team at DocSafe but after a few months things just didn't add up. Code that was very sub-standard, poor UI design and a total lack of transparency in the deployment of software assets. Lots of excuses and requests for more more pay - but nothing ever got built that was commercial ready or fully functional. It was a complete bug-fest that confused the rest of the development team.

Moreover Dimitar does not follow any instructions, does not fix mistakes as requested, and does his own development ideas without telling anyone. He does not communicate, he has a very poor work ethic and cannot work as part of a team. Bottom line is nothing he builds ever ends up working properly. He just asks for more money to fix up his own mistakes - which in turn results in even bigger mistakes.

When things finally came to a head and we knew we had to get rid of him we asked for all his faulty code and all the login credentials for both deployed apps he worked on. This included a poorly functional token vesting app that contained the digital tokens we were selling (again this app had lots of bugs and had less than a 2% onboarding rate). The other main AI app simply did not function and version 0.3 was worse than v0.2 which was worse than v0.1. After 5 months of work for us we had 2 pieces of software that were not commercially ready or functional for even the internal team to use - let alone customers.

When notified of his dismissal he then tried to blackmail us into paying him 2 months more wages upfront just to transfer all the code to us that legally we owned by his contract with us. Ultimately he tried to steal the digital token assets of over 60 investors / customers and never transferred the code or the digital wallets as legally required despite us paying his ransom. Because of our quick acting he only stole some dead tokens that were scheduled to be burned - but he tried to steal anything he could. This ended up nearly killing our business and if it were not for some alert team members we might have lost all our digital assets. He has certainly cost the business over $15k in direct costs and 5 months of lost time - plus the damage to the business in cancelled sales (over $400k). I regret the day we ever employed Dimitar Lee who is by definition a "work scammer".

In summary he is a very bad coder and a dishonest person with zero ethics who will scam you as long as he can to get paid. His plan is obviously to work remotely for at least 6 months in each company until he gets found out. He is the original "fake it till you take it" scammer. 

Whatever you do - never employ this man. He is a scammer and not a real full-stack developer as he claims. 

STAY AWAY FROM DIMITAR LEE.
